All of our damp proofing solutions are tailored to suit the specific needs of your property in Colchester, and we work closely with you to deliver expert, effective treatments. Below is an overview of the damp proofing services we provide in Colchester:
Damp Proofing
We specialise in providing professional damp proofing services, installing our damp proofing courses in properties to treat damp. Damp can occur due to a variety of factors, from rising moisture to poor ventilation or leaks, and our team at Kenwood can help by identifying the cause and providing expert, long-lasting treatment. We can also install our damp proofing course as a preventative measure to protect a property from future damp-related issues.
Basement Tanking
We provide basement tanking services to protect below-ground spaces from water ingress and moisture damage, using systems such as the Kenwood SWS Tanking System, Kenwood Rapid, and Cavity Drain Membranes. It ensures that basements, cellars, under-street vaults, and garden-level flats remain dry, safe, and usable, and also protects a property’s structure while reducing the risk of mould damage.
Specialist Replastering
We also specialise in offering specialist replastering, which is essential following the installation of our damp proofing treatments. Our team uses the Kenwood Premix Waterproof Rendering System, designed specifically for use on treated walls and providing a dry internal finish. This ensures a clean, dry, and smooth interior that supports the long-term success of the damp course.
Structural Waterproofing
We offer structural waterproofing services, which are most commonly used for properties with high ground levels or low/below ground flats to achieve a dry, internal finish. This service often complements chemical damp proofing and involves applying specialist cement-based coatings, such as Kenwood SWS or Rapid, directly to exposed masonry for lasting protection.
Woodworm Treatment
We can carry out woodworm treatment to eradicate timber infestations caused by wood-boring insects in homes and commercial properties. We apply low-odour, water-based preservatives to structural timbers including joists, subfloors, and wall plates. This helps to protect against further damage and maintain the integrity of your building and any floors, beams, or wooden elements in it.
Wet & Dry Rot Treatment
We provide wet and dry rot treatment, which stops the spread of rot and restores structural integrity in the timber. Our treatment involves identifying and eliminating the source of moisture, removing any affected timber, and treating or replacing the surrounding areas. Our comprehensive wet and dry rot treatment ensures your property is protected from further damage and properly restored.
Condensation Control
We can also install advanced condensation control systems, to help improve airflow and manage humidity within your property. We are able to install a wide range of systems, from full-property ventilation systems to single-room heat recovery units. Our solutions remove excess moisture and introduce clean, filtered air into a property, improving ventilation.
Damp Surveys in Colchester
We offer our clients in Colchester damp surveys, which are vital for identifying the underlying cause of potential dampness and receiving advice on effective treatment before the problem worsens. During our damp surveys, our qualified specialists inspect your property to identify signs of damp, determine the cause, and recommend the most appropriate treatment. If damp is found and you proceed with the work, the cost of your damp survey will be deducted from the overall price of your treatment.
You can request to book your damp survey online through our website, and we’ll be in touch with you within 24 hours to discuss your request and see if a survey is right for you. We can usually arrange a survey within 24 hours of confirming your booking.
